From his first election in 1955 to 1976, Mayor Richard J. Daley
dominated Chicago's political landscape. A product of the Irish
Catholic working class, Daley never lost touch with his roots as he
rose through the Democratic Party machine--whose workings he
perfected--to become a powerful and enduring political
figure.
The story of Daley is also the story of Chicago. Faced with issues
confronting many American cities in the twentieth century--civil
rights, integration, race riots, fiscal crisis, housing, suburban
flight, urban renewal--Daley conducted Chicago's business with a
steadfast resolve to withstand the many changes that threatened to
engulf his city. "Richard J. Daley" portrays one of the most
prominent American mayors in a balanced perspective and sheds new
light on his place in urban history.
